The Commercialisation of Deep Learning

The world has not seen a more disruptive and powerful technology since the inception of the internet itself. Deep Learning is going to transform every single industry that it touches. In manufacturing industries, the application of deep learning is as powerful as the introduction of robotics with the ability to automate higher level human decision making. Tasks such as quality inspection, process monitoring and production analysis are areas that rely heavily on humans but continue to be plagued with problems.

Similarly in medical diagnostics, the infrastructure around early detection and lab testing is ripe for transformation. This presentation will discuss how Sightline is applying the power of deep learning directly to these industries and affecting change to solve real problems with their Deep Learning cloud engine - Sightline Cortex.
